Muscari, or grape hyacinth, was one of the flowers I saw everywhere at the NW Flower & Garden show last week, along with fritillaria, or checkered tulips (see below). Their light blue color was very sweet to see, and will be perfect for an Easter nosegay. #NWFGS

At the recent NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, one display area had some incredible “cakes” decorated with flowers. I loved the colors on this one.

Anyone know this one? LATER NOTE: Appears to be a kind of Leucospermum, also known as pincushion protea.
Unusual large orange flower with thin petals and curls in the center. Know it?

These darling checkered tulips (not really, but that’s what they’re sometimes called) were enjoying a beam of sunlight at the recent NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, WA. #NWFGS
Fritillaria, or checkered tulip, can be seen in antique still-life paintings, and is easily grown in Pacific NW

The theme of Seattle’s NW Flower & Garden show seems to be edibles, even in the lobby bouquets.

Blooming at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, Strongylodon macrobotrys, or jade vine. The spent flowers fall still looking perfect, but unreal. Below the three fallen flowers is the plant as it grows. Isn’t that color like nothing you’ve ever seen? So graceful. LATER NOTE: This plant is blooming for the first time in 20 years!

The NW Flower & Garden Show starts next week in Seattle. Even though the theatrical lighting can be very challenging for floral photography, there are still so many flower photo opportunities.
